title: Esophagus: Endoscopic therapy for flat, dysplastic Barrett esophagus.
abstract: Both stepwise radical endoscopic resection (SRER) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) are effective endoscopic strategies for the treatment of patients with flat, dysplastic Barrett esophagus. Findings from a randomized, controlled trial indicate that the two treatments have similar efficacy, but considerably more complications are associated with SRER compared with RFA.
